End of the Q2 as Audi phases out small SUV

Popular urban crossover gives way to greener range, writes Julie Marshall

The Audi Q2 in this current guise has been around since 2020, but was first launched in 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show.

It’s a great little car and very popular. It has lots going for it, which is why it’s a shame that it is to be discontinued at the end of this year to make room for a new range of electric models.

Classed as a compact SUV, the Q2 is smart and sleek with sharp styling, a well put together interior and enough onboard kit to satisfy even the most committed technophile.

Audi refers to it as an ‘urban crossover SUV’ with ‘all the benefits of a family SUV, whilst remaining compact but luxurious’.

It is available in three trims: Sport, S line and Black Edition, with a choice of two TFSI petrol engines: the 30 TFSI 1.0-litre petrol engine and the 35 TFSI 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
